Equipment

  • 1 Bowls for serving
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Saucepan
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cup water
  • 1 sweet potato peeled and cubed
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 cup kale de-stemmed and chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2-4 tbsp warm water to thin
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Quinoa Preparation: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the cubed sweet potato in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread it out on the baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  • Kale & Chickpeas: While the sweet potato is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the kale and chickpeas, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the kale is wilted and chickpeas are slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Gradually add warm water until you reach a pourable consistency.
  • Assembly: Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Arrange the roasted sweet potato, sautéed kale and chickpeas, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes beautifully around the quinoa. Drizzle with the tahini dressing.
  • Serve: Share this nourishing bowl with your loved one, basking in the beauty of your creation and the depth of your connection.
